if your buying a xbox 360 i feel sorry for you

now we all have had arguments about which next gen console will be better but before you you decide to purchase a xbox 360 you may want to learn more about microsoft's mafia tatics to push the xbox 360

1.several web pages on the internet where going to release statements that said the xbox 360 was not running at the full dual processor 6.0 ghz at the systems release but before they even had a chance to mention this online microsoft threatened to sue them because they where afraid it would hurt there system sells!! interresting huh

2.microsoft is saying are new console has new security that keeps hackers out!! (funny considering they accedently sold beta kits to hackers in the uk and germany)

3.microsoft decided to stay with the dvd 11 format and all though this sounds good it is the same format that extended dvd's use for movies and has already been hacked

4.yes are console is hdtv compatible but if you have a regular tv you need to fork out 40 dollers for a av audio cable

5.microsoft thinks that gamers will fork out 400.00 for a console but most video game consoles are not purchased by the gamers themselfs but by the parents of the gamers and most parents i know are waiting for the revolution because of its 250.00 price tag instead of 400.00

6.microsoft thinks gamers will fork out almost 100.00 a game for this new console wow looks like where going to have another ps2 hard drive disaster remember when they first realease final fantasy 11 nobody wanted to pay 100.00 for it on the ps2 so what does microsoft think that gamers are going to spend 29.99 a month and everytime ff11 has to update itself it downloads 15 gig and 30 gig files at a time for updating you spend more time updating them online then playing them


in the long run of events i think microsofts xbox 360 is a piece of junk i wouldn't purchase a console for 400.00 when i could buy a computer and over 50 games for it with 400.00 and i sure as hell do not want to have a console where you must use xbox live in order for the console to operate so yes some new and amazing features do exsist
for the xbox 360 but consider sony is getting the latest nvidia chip set and nintendo is getting the latest ati chipset while microsofts xbox 360 is getting last years ati chipset at only 256megs of graphics power i think i will stick with the compition

also microsoft shame on you!!!!

you have forgotten about all the people that have steel batalion and can no no longer play it because it is not 360 backwards compatible

oh well i guess that is what you get from a monopoly

 

wow you poor confused lil man first off sony will be sold at the same price once you buy the hardrive and the memory cards and all the other junk you need to get any kind of decent game save and you are worried about space wow sony has NO SPACE NONE ZERO ZIP NADA without spending extra for it you wanna talk about microsoft what about sony who has miserable internet servers and horrible hosting capabilities like i have said time and time again enjoy your no memory having bannana shaped joystick

 

The joystick is only a mock up you idiot , so suck on that

 

guys.. stfu dumbasses just wait untill the official info comes out.
oh and get lives..

 

well the official controller looks just like the old controller but it has more buttons on it.(and yes i have played the OFFICIAL xbox360)

 

They are right, the problem is it can only run at 6ghz on multi- threaded games and those games are 4 years off. PS3 is even worse off.

Microsoft have already said that it's eventually going to be cracked, and for me thats a good thing.

Thats a good thing

WTF? Where is your source for this?

Yes I think it's to expensive as well, and im sure your parents did say she was going to wait.

30gb FILES!!!! so the update files will be 3 times bigger than the actual game!!(and bigger than the HDD) and since when did you HAVE to update?

I think you are wrong

What kind of crappy computers do you buy?

Now you are just talking shit

I have been over this many times before, before talking about which console is going to be more "powerfull" you need to look up about multi-threaded and single-threaded games, and realise that non of the consoles are going to be up to spec for the first 4 years, PS3 will probably be worse off.

Yeah they do get on my nerves as well, when they ignore peoples copyrights and if they get caught simply pay the fine like it's no big deal.

It is not 100% backward compatible, but all the new games for the xbox will work, and the older ones will work for people with a HDD and the correct files.

Microsoft don;t have a monopoly in the console market.

BTW: Are you one of these people who are "loyal" to machines? Its quite sad really.

 

Ohh man, lcarbutt, while I was reading this guys post, I was having fun thinking about how I was going to rip apart his post, then I scroll down, and what do I see, a long ass post by you!

 

good thing im not going to buy the 360.. becauase i think the ps3 will be the best system of all ,no matter price ,ya know the xbox and cube have been like little bugs conpared to the monster ps2.........revo & 360 got nothing on ps3.

 

little bugs? hehe pretty funny. Xbxo 60 will be good and probably have hardley any bugs, unlike the ps3, it wont have any ventalation holes, and probabably burn, the laser will prolly burn , again...and w./e i can go on for days.

 

wow johnodd4 is really on top of things, I dont think i have ever read anywhere that it was going to be 6ghz.

 

first off morons

you can buy a very nice computer for 400.00 from dell hp compaq and even macintosh

second of all iwas signed up for the stupid final fantasy online for ps2 and before i even got a chance to use it i spent 3 hours updating the crappy software to use it

so my opinons stand and i think your all suckers buying first generation xbox 360s does anybody remember the first generation xbox with suck classic flaws as

it doesn't read dvd r/rw

it doesn't read cd-r

my cd drive stoped reading cd's

my controller ports stoped working

i have heard it all and i also find it amazing that microsoft is promoting this console but the graphics just look like the same old xbox graphics also have fun the xbox 360 will not play xbox 1 games out of the box so have fun!!

 

By saying nice do you mean that it can run F.E.A.R. on lowest settings and have 10fps?

You must have a crappy internet connection :/

Im not going to comment to rest of your post cause i dont know about those thing. Personally i think it's stupid to make a thread about how shitty YOU think xbox is. Sure it makes nice argue but its pretty uselees. If you can only say its shitty keep your thoughts to yourself.

Oh and sorry for my bad english

 

ok for starters you call people a moron dude your gettin a dell jackass any respectable computer user knows dell is just a piece of crap pc that they sell cheap to get you to keep buying there updated ones and you have the nerve to question our intelligence and as far as your experience with ps2 online anyone who has played xbox live and ps2 online will tell you who runs a better server and have any ps2 customers heard of a online update? the answers no because there using the same network.

 

i agree dell computers do suck and xbox live is crap and shi$ becuase you gotta pay...........

 

this is for Gok who said its stupid johnodd4 posted this forum..well first why DID YOU COMMENT ON this forum if you think its stupid?..go home and suck on Bill's *beep*

 

How have you survived this long on this website with that kind of attitude?

Well, in your first post it was $400 for a computer and [bold]50[/bold] games. What happened to the 50 games? Or are they just the 2 MB ones you download off the internet, wishing you had an Xbox 360?

Well, I would suggest a better internet connection. And, you are just inforcing the fact that Sony Online gaming sucks.

Well, as you stated in your first post, all xbox 360's suck. So, now its just the first gen ones?

And I have a 1.0 Xbox, and it plays all my burned DVDs fine, and plays most CDs that I actually want to play through my TV speakers.

First off, its a DVD drive and its DVDs. Well, maybe you should take better care of it. I've had mine for..how long have they been out? 5 years? I've had no problems except for the odd noises when I start it up, which seem to go away and not affect gameplay.

You poor, poor sony fanboy that wishes his system was the first released. I'm not even going to comment on this part, since it is obvious you are making stuff up, hoping to defend your previous statements.

 

First off
[bold]lcarbutt[/bold] and
[bold]mkaseatgb[/bold]
you did an excellent job shuttin this guy down, but i would like to add a few things that slipped by....

please list me one JUST ONE good pc for 400 i would LOVEEEE to see this!

Actually one of the reasons that ati was so late in releasing there new pc graphics cards was becuase they where to busy completely redesigning the way the a GPU proccesses data (last years model?? what are you talking about??)

actually no...AMAZINGLY...wait for it.............wait for it...................it comes with svideo cables so if you dont have a spot for an svideo cable you need a new tv before anything else, those have been around for quite some time now.

PS3 will be at least 4, if not 500.

-
ohh and xbox live is only 49.99 a year not 30 somthing every month.

so take that home with you....chew it....and let me know how it taste.

 

johnodd4 is just mad that his mommy is to cheap to buy him the X360.

 

Yep, thats what I figured
@Logik666 A steelers fan? How could you? Hows Benny doing, still hurt?

 

LOL i wouldnt know, i only started wating football a couple months ago. I had watched about a dozen games and i decided that the steelers put on the most entertaining game, and im sticken with them. i was a hockey guy but im over that now cause the strike turned me off it.
